Solar Panel RoofNobody likes paying energy bills.  There has never been a time when you open your mailbox to find an electric bill and you were excited by it.  Some homeowners are taking the goal of avoiding energy bills to a new level.  They have chosen to live in zero-net energy homes.  These homes produce enough energy to offset the usage of the entire household.

How do these homeowners manage to offset their energy bills?  It comes from a combination of energy efficiency and generation.  These homes are built with thick concrete walls and insulation to keep a thick barrier from the outside environment.  The houses are equipped with geothermal heating and cooling systems, eliminating the need for large central air units and furnaces.  The final component is an energy generating device, most often solar panels, which create the energy for the home to use.

While the initial cost is higher for these homes, heating and electrical bills are essentially eliminated.  While homeowners still incur customer and tax charges from being hooked to the grid (for those occasional days when the homes do draw power), oftentimes, the homes will produce more energy than they use.  This means that energy is actually fed to the grid, granting homeowners a credit towards their bills.

If you are looking to make your home more energy efficient, or you want to reduce your bills, go to alphabuyer.com.  Alphabuyer can help you find an energy solution that fits your needs.  Simply go to aphabuyer.com and enter your ZIP code to see how much you can save.
